Second debate in series
Engler-Joyner debate focuses on tax issues
By Brian Hlavaty
LIFE City Editor
Property tax reform and the
iduated income tax proposal on
Nov. 7 ballot were the main
lies discussed by Republican State
presentative John Engler and his
mocratic opponent Bill Joyner
Tuesday night in the University
Center Auditorium.
Engler and Joyner are running
for the state representative position
in the newly created 89th district
which includes Isabella County and
portions of three other counties.
About 60 people attended the debate
' "^-^'^p: John ENGLER
Lira #!•<* my r«m Yfmfe
ftlM
the second in a series between the
two candidates.
Another debate lias been
scheduled on campus in Merrill Hall
Oct. 23.
,Although both candidates agree
on property tax reform their
alternatives for the tax differ.
"I'm concerned that the
proposals put forth by my opponent
are going to increase the flat rate
income tax, said Joyner.
The Property Tax Proposal
(Proposal C) would limit to 26 mills
the tax for "school, county and
township purposes and to provide
that the legislature shall establish a
state tax program for support of
schools," he said.
"I think we ought to remove
property tax immediately," emphasized Joyner. He felt a solution
would be a "very strongly enforced
and rigidly adhered-to graduated
income tax in the state.
"I think property tax should be
limited to 16 mills," Joyner said.
"We're going to have to make a
10 mill cut then." retorted Engler.
"That ten mill cut is going tohave to
come out Of education. or out of
county government. I'm interested
in where you put your priorities."
"My priority is with education,"
shot hack Joyner. "I want to remove
the property tax and I want to
replace it with a graduated income
tax."
"Engler wants to replace it with
an increase in the flat rate tax,"
continued Joyner. "The voters have
a choice there,-and that's as clear as
night and day."
Two attempts by Engler to have *■
Joyner explain where the 10 mill cut
would come from were unsuccessful.
Joyner's plan for a graduated
tax is "a, tax of two per cent on
! people that make less than $4,000
and a 14 per cent tax on those
making in excess,of $125,000".
Engler, however waa emphatic
in his stand against a graduate income tax. "I don't want a graduated
income tax," he said firmly.
, "If* that passes we're going .to
see it hung up next January as a
bargaining chip to interfere, in my
opinion, with the setting Up of a state
aid formula,".he contended..
, Engler argued if the graduated
income tax proposal is defeated then
the state would have to develop a
fair method of distributing money
back to the schools.
"That fair method would involve
a lot more dollars coming back to
Central Michigan. Because we have
low valuated and low millage
districts we need the money," ,
Engler said.
Other issues were discussed in
the 90-minute debate including
abortion, welfare and no-fault insurance. The candidates' views are
expressed below:
ABORTION
Engler: I'm voting no. It's my
personal belief, and it's a matter of
conscience.
Joyners The ruling by the -
circuit court judge in the Detroit
area took it out of legislative realm
and out of the realm of voters.
Although I personally am opposed
and would vote no in November, the
issue has been resolved. I'm now
going to follow the circuit court and
vote yes.
MARIJUANA USE
Engler: My position is not well
thought out. At this' time I'm not for
the legalization of marijuana
although I favored the bill which
reduced the penalties drastically.,
Joyner: We should concentrate
on heroin and hard drugs and get off
the habit of busting people for
marijuana.
WELFARE
*' Engler: I wish we knew what to
do. We might have to turn it over to
federal funding or do it through
some kind of negative income tax. I
don't know.
Joyner: I would like to see a
Work program such.as in an environmental area, whereby a person
would be put to work within their
local' area.
NO-FAULT INSURANCE. .*
Engler: It's a phony thing that
we pas'-tedi'It wilt help some of the
problems but it will be a tremen
dously expensive piece of legislation.
The public was oversold and
misrepresented.
You still need collision insurance. If you get hit and don't have
collision insurance you don't have
any course of action.
Joyner: I don't care if for .some
people the rates do increase. That's
not the issue with no-fault insurance.
What no-fault is going to do is speed
up litigation and see to it when
you're in an accident that you get
your hospital bill paid immediately..
